Having trouble starting with the EZ Start

I have a T Maxx 2.5 and i'm having trouble getting it started. It started up great the other day and I ran it around for a while and shut it off. I wanted to run it today and I could not get it started all it did was turn the starter motor over and over. I checked all the connections and they are all good, it's almost like its not getting gas. Any help would be great thanks everyone.

Put on the pull start, ez start is crap

Don't go doing this so fast.... EZ start is great.... The thing that gives people the problems that causes most to just say,"screw it, i'm throwing this thing out" is just the glow plug wire. Pull that wire off of the glow plug, and use a traditional glow stick. I've had my Jato for about a year and a half now, and have COUNTLESS bashing sessions and the car usually cranks right up after about two, 2 second bursts of the EZ Start wand (using a traditional glow stick). Another big thing is the tuning of your engine. If you can tune the engine well, you should have zero problems starting.

I would almost guarantee that is your problem, the little wire doesn't provide quite enough power to ignite the fuel. Pull off that one wire, and use a glow stick.

RE: Having trouble starting with the EZ Start

I say kill it, I went through 2 ez starts in a month (the wand thing) and said screw this crap, installed a pull startm and have never been happier, plus I don't need to have that gigantic thing in my pocket/on my belt. also my 3.3 starts faster using a pull start
